Abstract

this paper deals with the options how to model of the Bathtub Curve and how to properly estimate failure intensity during operation time of a system. Firstly, the term "Bathtub Curve" is described. The main part is connected with the demonstration of three possible models how to correctly estimate the failure intensity during operation of a system. The main aim of this paper is to assess usefulness of all investigated models for the estimation of failure intensities.
